As I left the theater I swore I'd NEVER buy this movie, I thought it was the worst sci-fi I'd seen all year...next to Battlefield Earth.
Yesterday I'm on my way home from work, realizing that I feel like watching some mindlessly sci-fi fun, in my mind I go through all my mindlessly fun titles...hummmm, I NEED something new. I pop into my favorite DVD store and buy...Pitch Black.
I'm thinkin' "Kenny, your an idiot, and you have the dreaded DVD sickness."
So after the family is tucked away in bed, I fire up the system and pop this bit of sci-fi hell into the player...What was I thinking? this flick is not that bad, good effects, neat creatures, above average cliche ridden acting. Stories nothing special, people crash on nasty planet and must work together to get off...oh-hum
The one thing that did piss me off about this movie was the macho fight in the middle of trying to reach safely, wouldn't any thinking person at least wait until they reached safety??? I think so. Plus wouldn't the pilots face have been burned off during that crash landing? If not, her arms and face would have been sandblasted off when the windshield broke!
Anyway it's mindless fun, and I will watch it again.
Loved the atmospheric color changes due to whichever type sun was dominate at the time.
